Best friend is worst foe.

The response of the Treasury bench and Opposition in the Kerala Assembly when the newly elected Neyyattinkara MLA  R  Selvarai  has taken oath office, is entrancing. The Opposition members were seen shouting when he was taking the oath.

Selvaraj did not show any hesitancy in reaching to the opposition side and went with the folded hands to Kodiyeri Balakarishnan and opposition leader V S Achuthanandan who did not even look at him. This means Selvaraj is politically shoddier than Oommen Chandy  for them.  And it also underlines the saying: One’s best friend could be one’s worst enemy.
